james5121 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Hey there Shaggy. Difficult I know to bear one's soul here and when the time is right then maybe you will share the story of the lost farm. I know that I wouldn't be the man I am in Thailand if I didn't read, listen, heed and understand what the better contributors have shared. I was shared the pain of those mistakes by reading theirs, and then adapting their experiences and knowledge into my situation. Shaggy, when you are ready ... you have an audience. . I don't want to take this off course. BUT I think that could be a great TOPIC " What have you lost in, LOS or just IN SEA , and how" I know that there is a lot of people against buying property in GF or wife's name ,and with rightful concern .But i don't think people get an understanding of the true pain involved and the different dangers..ESP if it is being drowned out with alcohol.

diddums Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Really quite a setup. How are the pigs and new sty progressing? Thanks for the comment IA but as you well know I lost the farm but if you really want to know how the farm is doing then maybe you should ask my ex wife,last time I heard the farm was doing well !!! Ok, sorry bout that, I asked in a post up there somewhere about it...did not see this post prior. Not sure why IA would ask such a question if he knows already...quite insensitive....maybe he ran out of fags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaggy1969 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 The geese and duck (muskovy) penthouse... 1st stage complete. There will be 3 more pens on the rear of this. 2 raised up for guinea fowl, turkeys and chickens and the rest of the floor space will be for my khaki Campbells.. Headstand time Thanks IPads suck Couldn't leave poor old Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee and yourself upside down,not good having all that blood rushing to their heads. . That's a wide variety of fowl you are raising Carlos. We were once given 400 Campbell chicks from the local government....bloody things ate us out of house and home,ravenous eaters and it turned out that the majority were males Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's why the usually get three crops a year in Songkhla, and the farmers make a reasonable living by Thai standards It's surprising how quick they do get it harvested,once the rice is ready then family and friends all join forces.Also many of the paddies are that small and staggered that a harvester wouldn't be of any use anyway.
